About the GWD
Delivering Life’s Essential Resource
In 1984, the Grafton Water District was formed by an Act of the Massachusetts Legislature. In February 1988, the District took over operations of the Massachusetts American Water Company, which had operated the system since 1893.
The District provides water to a population of just over 10,000 people. The system consists of:
- Five wells
- Four pumping stations
- One iron and manganese water treatment
- Over 72 miles of distribution piping ranging from 2 inches to 16 inches in diameter
- Three storage tanks with a capacity of 1.8 million gallons
- Two booster pump stations
- Over 700 fire hydrants
Each year the District holds an annual meeting in April. At this meeting the registered voters of the District approve the budget and any warrant articles, as well as elect officers for the year. Terms of officers are as follows:
- Three water commissioners, elected for staggered three year terms
- One clerk elected every three years
- One moderator elected every three years
Special meetings may be called at different times of the year as needed.
All special meetings and the annual meeting are posted at the District office, the town libraries, the post offices, the town hall and in a local newspaper.
